Bernanke

I know it may sound crazy to you, but I don’t believe it necessarily takes a “real” economist to fix our financial problems. In fact, my philosophy is that the economy needs to be simplified drastically… because when the layperson no longer understands what is going on with the economy, they are also unable to act as a watchdog upon it. This in turn leaves the door open for rampant corruption and manipulation by the small group of insiders that actually do understand how the system works… because unfortunately for the rest of us, there seems to be a tendency for them to use their “insider knowledge,” absurdly complicated mathematics, and carefully worded legal language against us for their own selfish interests instead…

So as most of you are aware, we are in major financial mess… And since it should be obvious by now that our media and politicians don’t have a clue, I guess it doesn’t hurt to have some “outside the box” solutions. But I also have to warn you…

First off, no matter what these TV clowns are saying between the seemingly endless pharmaceutical ads and car insurance commercials, let’s be clear: it is mathematically impossible to ever pay off this debt.

Does this make sense to anyone else? Not only are they living like kings among us serfs already… according to the mathematics of the debt, we haven’t even scratched the surface of what we still owe them! Now even though it’s not quite that simple, the point is; how absurd does this mathematical nightmare have to get before you finally decide to take action?

But this speech isn’t about class warfare. After all, there are many other people that are also responsible for this mess; and many of them see those people everyday in their own mirror. However, I’m also not here to insult the gullible, naïve, and uninformed either. After all, despite the fact that I can be perceived as condescending at times; I also used to be gullible, naïve, and uninformed.

So how to we fix the economy then? Let me ask you a question: Is there a shortage of resources? Is there food in the grocery stores? Is there gasoline in the pumps? Yes. So let me ask you; why are we about to live in indefinite austerity even though we already have resources available? I’ll explain…

Here’s another example of how wasteful our economy is; not only does your dollar not buy as much as it used to, did you notice that everything also costs more now too? Quantitative “easing?” They should call it “quantitative squeezing,” because the Federal Reserve has really mastered the art of squeezing our dollar from both ends.

But regardless of whether this mess was caused by design or not, we have to admit that the system is a failure and its complexity and confusion has led to rampant manipulation and corruption. Fact: this is a failed system and it’s time to move on. Do you want to see your grand-kids in poverty or having to work 3 jobs while Ben Bernanke’s spoiled rotten grandchildren are living like gods? Either do I….

So what should our credit rating really be? Here, let me illustrate why our credit rating is a joke from an “outside the box” perspective: hypothetically speaking; if you were an investor from another planet and you stumbled upon earth and spent a week on Wall Street, would you really want to invest in our bonds? Of course not! So what would you rate them? Let’s face reality: they’re JUNK!

Of course they aren’t ready to admit they are junk, and I can’t say I completely blame them. After all, a spontaneous default would obviously send economic shock waves and possible panic all over the globe. I mean the dollar is still the world’s reserve currency… however; we can’t keep this hoax of an economy propped up forever, so how do we fix it?

So since these incompetent weasels have no solutions, the latest idea lies in the creation of a diabolical super oligarchy of 13? I’m sorry, super congress? Really? And in the odd chance that this really became necessary, shouldn’t the people get to pick the 12? And if there wasn’t enough time for a vote, shouldn’t they be selected by the highest approval rating? Or would that make too much sense? I mean we wouldn’t want to risk having a situation where 12 of the country’s most unpopular aristocrats were selected to be in charge of something this important, would we? That would just be silly… what do you think this is, a Dystopia? That could never happen in real life!

But seriously, if anyone thinks these corrupted incompetents are going to solve our financial problems than I’m sorry to inform you that you’re probably not going to get a solution you are going to be excited about. In fact it’s most likely going to end up with you under hopeless and overwhelming amounts of debt while these corrupt, multimillionaire con-men live like kings and tell you that everything is fine; “corporations are people” and write laws to legally protect themselves from all the nefarious rackets they’ve created.

So we have a Keynesian economics system, fractional-reserve banking, fiat currency, and a private bank that seems to have its tentacles in everything? Run and overseen by a bunch of spoiled aristocrats? Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but here’s the reality: corruption, greed, and over-complication have ruined our financial system beyond repair, and the Warren Buffetts and Paul Krugmans of the world know it. They had an amazing run, but now they are quickly starting to resemble dinosaurs from another era. They desperately want to keep the system going, but they are going to have to face the fact that this system is broken, completely unsustainable, and hopelessly beyond repair. And almost everything that comes out of their mouths these days is nothing more than desperate attempts to keep the system going.

Now although Warren may appear to be one of the humbler elites, it shouldn’t take too much imagination by now to see what’s really going on: The rich and powerful want to stay rich and powerful….

Okay, identifying the corruption problem wasn’t so difficult. However there’s another problem that’s going to be a bit more complex to deal with:

You see, as the fraud becomes more exposed, the perpetrators, manipulators, and many of the benefactors are going to be looking at some serious punishment along the likes of Bernie Madoff or worse. So what are these elites going to do when they’re not only in danger of losing everything they’ve “earned,” over the years, but they’re also potentially looking at 20 to life or worse?

Good question, so let me ask you: what would you do if you were them, and you were looking at losing your posh lifestyle, all your toys, and then looking at losing all your freedom by facing indefinite jail-time? Right: you would lie, lie, and lie some more….

Anyway, we let the top minds debate on national television, then over time, maybe we can start voting them off or something until we arrive at an economic system that makes the most sense. Sounds like a “Sputnik moment” to me, but if you would rather be at the mercy of the super congress… then good luck!

Okay, so we’ve covered the wastefulness of our current system of crony-collectivism… but if we re-start the economy, what are we going to do about China and the other countries that are holding our debt?

Good question… so let me ask you; if you were a debt-holder, and the country that owed you money was on the verge of default, what would you want in return?

A: Stacks of soon-to-be-worthless green paper?

B: More treasury bonds? Or

C: a steady flow of tangible imports?

The point is: just because we might have to restart our economy doesn’t mean we can’t still honor our debts. And if we need to start growing more food and manufacturing more goods to our debt-holders, then we will probably have to open up our factories again! Now we can put America back to work with an efficient and transparent resource based economy… hey Obama, how’s that for a Sputnik moment?

And to the debt-holders of the world: I apologize for the behavior of the monsters responsible for the orchestration of all these financial problems, but please don’t blame the innocent American people because we were also fooled by these same financial sellouts.

Now I could start rattling off some of the people I think are responsible; let’s see… there’s Ben Bernanke, Alan Greenspan, Henry Kissinger… I could go on, but I just realized something… I don’t consider these men to be Americans anyway! They don’t have any loyalty to us; they are traitors and economic terrorists!

Which brings me back to one of the most difficult questions of all: Once we identify all of those truly responsible, what are we going to do with them? This is where it gets complicated:

Like I’ve said, you can forget about Eric Holder or Janet Napolitano bringing their masters to justice, and just because I’m making some accusations doesn’t prove that any of them are 100% guilty. After all, this is America, and everyone deserves a fair trial.

Besides, maybe these bankers and ultra-rich elites are really moral people, and this broken economy was all just done by design to teach us all of us serfs a valuable financial lesson? You know; a lesson of why you shouldn’t trust private banks that create money out of nothing because they will eventually rob all of the wealth and decimate the country. I mean maybe they were planning on giving us all of our wealth back as part of a surprise later, and now I’m the guy who had to open his mouth and ruin the party for everybody…

Now that scenario probably isn’t going to happen, and unfortunately, I don’t know who’s going to make all these apprehensions for questioning. I do however have a creative solution for what to with them assuming they are found guilty…

Now my solution involves mercy, but don’t get me wrong. There’s a part of me that would love to be there when all these corrupt bankers, politicians, moguls, and Wall-Street manipulators get dragged out of their mansions in handcuffs and get stuffed into police cars.

However, these people aren’t just going to go quietly without a fight. These are powerful people with powerful connections and when faced with losing everything and spending the rest of their lives in jail or worse… well let’s just say they could do any number of desperate things to protect themselves from us so we’re going to have to be smart about this.

There are a lot of people out there that seem to have a disturbing fascination with punishment, but maybe it’s time to start re-thinking this concept; I mean does it look like our prison system is doing a good job of rehabilitation?

And that’s another key point I want to make: the concept of empathy. For example: if you were born into a powerful banking family, do you want to convince me that you would not have followed in their footsteps, and that you would have been the whistle-blower that brought down your own family for the good of the world? I mean JFK and Princess Diana are a couple of exceptions, but the reality is, most people would have gotten stuck in the family business too, so it’s hard for me to honestly pass judgment on them without making myself a hypocrite.

So yes, I believe in mercy. I also believe that if we harshly punish them, then we may also sink to their level. We’re supposed to be better than them after all, so maybe we should prove it…?

So what should we do instead? Here’s the fun part: we create a controlled environment for them which will keep them isolated from us, but instead of constant hellish punishment, there will be much more fun and limited freedom…

I know it sounds like a reward, but I guess my philosophy is that I really don’t care if they have an arcade, a sports bar, a golf course whatever… just as long as they stay away from us, and stop playing god with us and our children.

The basic idea is that we will use their own control grid against them; RFID chips, cameras everywhere, spy satellites etc, and like the Truman Show, maybe we can make them stars in their own reality TV show! Who’s watching the criminals? You are! Hey, did you see last night’s episode when Karl Rove and Dick Cheney were having an argument with Al Gore? OMG!

Now this high-tech prison may take some time to build, but it is a plausible peaceful solution. If we are willing to get creative and outside-the-box, there are ways to fix our world’s problems without destroying our civilization in the process…

Okay, well there you have it; a peaceful solution for some of the world’s most impossible problems, you’re welcome. 😉

If you want a good, smart-sounding BS story about the economy; go read Paul Krugman and the New York Times. Or maybe you would rather get your BS straight from an official Washington stooge like chairman on the council of economic advisers; Austan Goolsbee. But if you really enjoy deluding yourself with economic BS, and need an entire television network full of seemingly endless amounts of useless information, perhaps CNBC will be to your liking.

However, if you want real insider information, you’re going to have to get your news from an insider (duh). Therefore, let me introduce you to one of them: his name is Max Keiser, and he is an entrepreneur, inventor, and former Wall Street broker. Normally, I enjoy listening to Max because he paints a much more believable version of the reality of our economy. In this instance however, he’s got an economic story that could only be compared to a Hollywood movie. In fact, I can show you…

Remember the movie Trading Places? Specifically the part towards the end when the rich elitist brokers get ruined? Well what if I were to tell you that not only could a similar situation like that happen in real life, you could actually play a part in making it happen!

First, let me show you the interview (note, this is a very good all-around interview, but for those on time constraints and for the “alternative media newbies,” I want to specifically highlight 1:15-4:00 of the second clip):

So in a nutshell, what does all of this mean?

My understanding is that supposedly the banks (specifically J.P. Morgan) do not have the physical silver on hand (as I’ll show you in “The American Dream” video clip below). In theory, what that means is if we all go out and acquire physical silver, J.P Morgan won’t have enough on hand, exposing themselves to be completely fraudulent! And if they want to continue to protect this (alleged) scam, they will eventually be forced to buy silver which ironically should also drive the price of silver up, making us even wealthier! The other great irony of course, is that you will be giving them paper and digital “dollars” in exchange for real tangible assets! Or as Max Keiser says, “they stole our wealth, now we’re taking it back!”

By the way, in case you are curious; here are some links to some of the side issues Max was discussing:

Are you ready to be part of the solution? Do you want to see that scene from Trading Places happen, but in real life? Except instead of Randolph and Mortimer, it’s Ben Bernanke, Hank Paulson, Alan Greenspan, and Timothy Geithner? Well according to Max, when silver reaches about 48 dollars a share (currently around 40), we could see the beginnings of that possibility happen!

But whether it can or cannot, ask yourself a question; isn’t it worth a shot? Now I’m certainly not suggesting you spend a significant amount of money on precious metals, but if everyone picked up a few silver coins; we could test this theory, and perhaps completely avoid this endless austerity nonsense overnight after all! So isn’t the possibility of starting a chain-reaction leading to the collapse of our economic worries worth a simple 25-50 dollar investment?
